As 2025 winds down, we pause to give thanks for the travel opportunities we had this year, including remarkable journeys to Vietnam and doing a Christmas markets cruise down the Danube!
Grateful today for the opportunity to travel. Earlier this month, we did a tour of Vietnam, where we experienced ancient history, beautiful scenery, great food, and fun activities!
Just returned from New York City, where our activities included a concert at Carnegie Hall, a Broadway play, and eating at Gabriel Kreuther, the midtown Manhattan restaurant where our son works.
Coming in May 2026, my newest picture book from @penguinworkshop : SAD, MAD, GLAD: A Day Full of Feelings. Explore the wide breadth of emotions that kids encounter every day in this gentle rhyming picture book about feelings, friends, and sibling bonds. Includes an educator afterword that delves into social-emotional learning connections.
